Plausible is very nice, but it lacks much of the information from Matomo (like “after viewing /foo, visitors tend to view…”). Matomo is very nice, but it lacks the free Google Search Console integration (“people are currently finding you from these Google searches: …”) from Plausible.[0]

I’m vain and curious enough to want to see the Google data, but not so much as to pay $160/yr for the Matomo plugin for my personal blog.

[0] This isn’t the same as Google Analytics. You can get this information without installing a tracker on your site.

you can fill in this hole with Google Search Console.

It's not perfect, but it is free.

Yeah, that’s what I do now. It’s not as convenient as having it integrated directly into the stats, but free sure beats $160 for my hobby blog.
Plausible can fetch and show the used "search terms" if you connect it to your Google Search Console.
Right, but Matomo can’t. Matomo has more information otherwise, but Plausible does that part well.
